Vincent, one of New York&#8217;s leading puppeteers and creator of the hugely popular children&#8217;s television show, &#8216;Good Day Sunshine,&#8217; struggles to cope with the loss of his son, Edgar, becoming increasingly distressed and volatile. Full of self-loathing and guilt around Edgar&#8217;s disappearance, he clings to his son&#8217;s drawings of a blue monster puppet, ERIC, convinced that if he can get ERIC on TV then Edgar will come home. As Vincent&#8217;s progressively destructive behaviour alienates his family, his work colleagues, and the detectives trying to help him, it&#8217;s Eric, a delusion of necessity, who becomes his only ally in the pursuit to bring his son home.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3953846610\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Filming has commenced on the series which will film in Hungary and New York.<\/p>\n<p>Vincent Anderson &#8211; Benedict Cumberbatch<\/p>\n<p>Cassie Anderson &#8211; Gaby Hoffmann<\/p>\n<p>Detective Michael Ledroit &#8211; McKinley Belcher III<\/p><div id=\"morty-895382386\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lennie Wilson &#8211; Dan Fogler<\/p>\n<p>George Lovett &#8211; Clarke Peters<\/p>\n<p>Edgar Anderson &#8211; Ivan Morris Howe<\/p>\n<p>Anne Anderson &#8211; Phoebe Nicholls<\/p>\n<p>Matteo Cripp &#8211; David Denman<\/p>\n<p>Yuusuf Egbe &#8211; Bamar Kane<\/p>\n<p>Cecile Rochelle &#8211; Adepero Odyue<\/p>\n<p>Raya &#8211; Alexis Molnar<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie &#8211; Roberta Colindrez<\/p>\n<p>Produced by SISTER (<em>Chernobyl<\/em>, This Is Going To Hurt, Landscapers) and co-produced by Little Chick (The Split)<\/p>\n<p>Creator &amp; Writer: BAFTA and Emmy-winner Abi Morgan OBE (<em>River, Suffragette, The Split<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producers: Abi Morgan, Jane Featherstone (<em>Chernobyl, This Is Going To Hurt<\/em>), Lucy Dyke (<em>The Split, Black Mirror<\/em>), BAFTA-winner Lucy Forbes (<em>This is Going To Hurt, In My Skin, End of The F***ing World<\/em>) and Benedict Cumberbatch.<\/p>\n<p>Director: Lucy Forbes<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Holly Pullinger (This Is Going To Hurt, Don&#8217;t Forget The Driver)<\/p>\n<p>Creator, Writer &amp; Executive Producer Abi Morgan said: &#8220;Eric is a dark and crazy journey into the heart of 1980&#8217;s New York, and the good bad and ugly world of Vincent, a genius puppeteer on one of America&#8217;s leading kids TV shows. The chance to work with Benedict and the creative team at Sister and Netflix, is irresistible. With Lucy Forbes at the directorial helm, I feel fortunate to be working at a time of such great creativity in our industry. Fingers crossed Eric will be a welcome addition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producers Jane Featherstone and Lucy Dyke said: &#8220;When Abi first pitched ERIC to us it gave us goosebumps. It is an extraordinary piece of writing, inspired by Abi&#8217;s experience of New York in the mid 1980s, a city rotten to its core but on the cusp of change. She writes both a tense thriller and an intimate portrait of a delusional father searching for his child, shadowed by a monster named Eric. We are thrilled that ERIC will be led by the multi-award-winning Benedict Cumberbatch and directed by the brilliant Lucy Forbes. Eric is set to be an incredibly unique and special limited series and we are overjoyed to be collaborating once more with our long-time creative partner Abi on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Format: Limited series<\/p>\n<p>Episodes: 6x 60 mins<\/p>\n<p>Character Descriptions<\/p>\n<p>Vincent Anderson (Benedict Cumberbatch)<\/p>\n<p>One of New York&#8217;s leading puppet makers and puppeteers, Vincent is the creator of wildly popular children&#8217;s television show, Good Day Sunshine. Highly intelligent, and charismatic yet narcissistic, Vincent is professionally volatile and privately neglectful of his wife Cassie, and young son, Edgar.<\/p>\n<p>Cassie Anderson (Gaby Hoffmann)<\/p>\n<p>Born and raised in privilege on a farm in upstate New York, Cassie fell in love with Vincent at art college before the reality of life kicked in. A warm and loving mother to Edgar, Cassie struggles with Vincent, tired of his womanising and volatile behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Detective Michael Ledroit (McKinley Belcher III)<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years in the police service, primarily spent in VICE, Ledroit is a leading detective in MISSING PERSONS ever since he felt compelled to help the swamped division in finding missing people. Ledroit works daily to hide his sexuality and life with long-term lover William but when his secret becomes an obstacle at work, Ledroit must choose between protecting his identity and solving a case.<\/p>\n<p>Lennie Wilson (Dan Fogler)<\/p>\n<p>Lennie Wilson, Vincent&#8217;s best friend, and colleague and a brilliant puppeteer and maker in his own right. A committed bachelor, Lennie shares a strong bond with Edgar, who often comes to the workshop of Good Day Sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>George Lovett (Clarke Peters)<\/p>\n<p>George Lovett, the super of the apartment building where Edgar lives, is a friendly neighbour with minimal belongings. Those he has, he treasures. His children no longer speaking to him, George befriended Edgar, letting him play in his apartment whenever his parents argued.<\/p>\n<p>Edgar Anderson (Ivan Morris Howe)<\/p>\n<p>Artistic yet deeply withdrawn from the world, 9-year-old Edgar is inspired by the puppets on his father&#8217;s show Good Day Sunshine, a hit children&#8217;s puppet show, wanting to make a puppet of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Anderson (Phoebe Nicholls)<\/p>\n<p>Anne is an elegant yet brittle housewife to real estate mogul Robert Anderson and mother to Vincent, who struggles to connect to her and has carved out a life in direct opposition to everything Anne and Robert aspire to be.<\/p>\n<p>Matteo Cripp (David Denman)<\/p>\n<p>Captain Cripp, Ledroit&#8217;s eagle-eyed boss and captain of the station, has a good relationship with Ledroit and cares for him like a mentor. Edgar&#8217;s case brings media attention and pressure from above and when Ledroit believes it may be connected to missing boy Marlon Rochelle, a 14 year old from nearly a year ago, Cripp is quick to discourage this, keen for Ledroit to close the case quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Yuusuf Egbe (Bamar Kane)<\/p>\n<p>Yuusuf Egbe lives amongst the mole people underneath New York City, along disused subways. A graffiti artist, Yuusuf leaves his tag all over New York but never expected them to be noticed &#8211; especially not by a 9 year old boy.<\/p>\n<p>Cecile Rochelle (Adepero Odyue)<\/p>\n<p>Cecilie is an African American mother whose son Marlon disappeared 11 months ago. Marlon was older than Edgar and even though the police have done very little to help find Marlon, Cecile never lets up. She has resigned herself to the idea that he is dead but still wants him found.<\/p>\n<p>Raya (Alexis Molnar)<\/p>\n<p>Raya is a friend of Yuusuf&#8217;s, also living underneath New York City, along disused subways amongst the Mole People. Streetwise and addicted to crack cocaine, Raya knows how to use her smarts to get her next fix, but sometimes it&#8217;s at great risk to her and those around her.<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie (Roberta Colindrez)<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie is a legendary puppeteer working on Good Day Sunshine with Vincent and Lennie, her long standing colleagues. Ronnie is immune to Vincent&#8217;s charms which gives her a unique position to call him out with her quick, sarcastic wit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benedict Cumberbatch will lead six-part thriller from writer Abi Morgan, alongside Gaby Hoffmann and McKinley Belcher III Set in 1980s New York, Eric is a new emotional thriller from Abi Morgan following the desperate search of a father when his nine year old son disappears one morning on the way to school.
